Low level deal

Ducks trade young tough guy defenceman Shane O'Brien and a third-round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning for goaltender Gerald Coleman and a first-round pick.Coleman has played just 2 games in the NHL in 43 mins he has given up 2 goals and has 1 tie to his record. He has spent most of his time the the ECHL this season with the Johnstown Cheifs in 17 games he is 7-9 with a 3.41 GAA and .902 save percentage. O'Brien has played in 62 with 2 goals, 12 assists, 14 points and 140 PIMS. O'Brien brings some toughness to the Lightning lineup and also gives them some depth in the blueline.

Look for the Ducks to try and deal for Rob Blake or hard shooting Sheldon Souray. Souray wants to be moved to the West coast where he will be closer to his family in California.
